I'm sorry, but what exactly is that? It says Ford under your name but I've never seen one... but then, us Americans don't get anything badged with RS over here either. *sigh*

its a ford fiesta. kinda like the older and smaller brother to the focus. when it was new its handling topped its class. still pwns just about anything in the corners. fastest car ive tried it on with on a twisty road was an evo 8 and i left him sitting.. was a different story once we hit straight road tho lmao

shes not actually an RS.. they never made a mk4 fiesta rs only the mk3 rs turbo.

Ah, we got Fiestas over here but the front ends on them are very bland compared to that.

Heh, I just found the little red link in your sig. That's a sweet car. Ours never came with a turbo though. So, for what it matters, how fast are those things in a straight line with the mods you've done? And this may sound stupid but was 4 wheel drive possible on those cars from the factory?

shes not turbo.. i was going to but changed my mind. i want a truck lol

the 4th generation (and facelifted 5th) were praised as the top handling car in its class.

weighs just shy of 2000lbs, 62.30% weight distribution, about 100bhp/ton with my modifications. quick enough to keep an E36 318i at bay and chase 320's, not bad for a 1.25. handling is in a league of its own.. its shat all over every car ive come across in the corners, one of the best being an evo 8 when i was on std suspension. now i have trackday spec fully adjustables. im still wanting to put a ported and polished 1.4 head with solid lifters, 1.7 inlet manifold and throttle body, lumpier cams and 4-2-1 on her along with a front and rear upper strut brace and front lower one, also thinking about a watts link (overglorified panhard bar) for the rear beam.

for comparisons sake ive taken a mini roundabout (continuing straight aftwerwards) at just shy of 60mph and made my friends ass cheeks pucker lol. btw the roundabout in question has a dip into and out of it and is about 6 feet in diameter.

this could be bullshit

fiesta is an econobox, like the vauxhall astra, etc. If it outhandles an evo 8, I will eat my hat.

its not BS.. fiestas have had history in motorsport since they were first created. google till your blue in the face.

DmcL · #13 (**permalink**) 07-01-2005, 09:57 AM

Closest thing I have seen to that in the states is a Ford Festiva.

DmcL · #15 (**permalink**) 07-01-2005, 06:59 PM

err thats a festiva.. completely different. the festiva is just a rebadged kia pride (ironic name lol)
